COMMENTS

"I grew up in Hollywood at the knee of my father, Mel Blanc, whose voice graced hundreds of films, including five Academy Award winners. Movies and home cooking were the mainstays of my childhood. Movie Menus brings great food and great movies together in a way that entertains, informs, and nourishes! As Bugs Bunny would put it, 'Eh, what's cookin' Doc?'"

Noel Blanc,
voice of Looney Tunes

"This delightful book will conjure up fond memories of great movies and the meals that accompanied them-both on and off screen."

Richard Peña,
Program Director,
Film Society of Lincoln Center

"Francine Sagan has given us a gift by providing us with ideas for many memorable evenings. Food, like movies, brings us together and allows us to share romance, adventure, and laughter. From the first bite to the last, Movie Menus will help every cook write his or her uniquely sumptuous script."

Executive Chef Michael White,
Fiamma Osteria, New York

"Food and film, a marriage made in heaven,
With this book it gets its proper leaven."

John Simon,
Theater critic, New York Magazine

"Movie Menus is so much fun! I'm no movie buff, but I love good food and recipe storytelling and Movie Menus combines them both. The recipes are so entertaining, I'd probably skip the movie part altogether and just curl up and read."

Cesare Casella,
Cookbook author and executive chef of Beppe, NYC
